Public-private Partnership as a Mode of Socio-economic Development in India
India being a welfare State has embarked upon the program of development of infrastructure and provision of basic services as chief public sector activities. Traditionally, this was done exclusively by the government. But several factors have contributed to the inability of the government to address developmental requirements solely through traditional means. Therefore, governments are exploring partnership with the private sector to supplement efforts of public authorities. Publicprivate partnership means an arrangement between a government or statutory entity or government owned entity on one side and a private sector entity on the other, for the provision of public assets and /or related services for public benefit. The Government of India is working with the State Governments and other stakeholders to enlarge the horizon of publicprivate partnerships. It has created supportive atmosphere, provided fiscal incentives, and facilitated funding of public-private partnership projects. The Government of India has taken several initiatives to create an enabling framework for public-private partnerships. Major sectors having public-private partnerships are: agriculture, civil aviation, defence, education, electricity, health, highways, industries, information technology and egovernance, oil and natural gas, ports, railways, telecommunications, tourism and urban development. An appraisal of public-private partnership projects reveals that some sectors are making its extensive use. There are several obstructions in public-private partnerships which need to be removed for ensuring the success of such projects.
